In Christ I Am Ever Blessed

IN CHRIST I AM EVER BLESSED

He was dying to live His life for me
Then living He died at Calvary
From the cross to the grave and then...praise God
Up from the grave...There stood the Word
Clothed with the marks of humanity
Showing the wounds that He bore for me
Dying He gained my victory
In Christ I am ever blessed

My life in the past was nondescript
"The things of God" I'd have none of it
How in the world could I live without
The One who removes all fear and doubt
The One who declared..."I shall arise!"
Then proved that statement before men's eyes
That One who one day shall return from the skies
In Christ I am ever blessed

In Christ I am blessed I love to tell
How He saved my soul from the place called Hell
Now I am ready for eternity
To be with the One who died for me
Sweet are my times with Him in prayer
Knowing every burden I can share
That He is always with me here
In Christ I am ever blessed

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
